Maybe you could answer a question many of us young whipper-snappers have had. 
 Why is it that no one ever comes across a PP-1175/SR, but only PP-1175A/SR?  
USS Valley Forge still had two modified AN/VRC-10's aboard in '67/'68.  We 
didn't use them any during our WestPac cruise as we received KY-8 compatible 
AN/VRC-48's in Subic (which I also had to fix).  But I played with the the 
VRC-10's some and am almost sure that the power supplies were A models.
